Boarding

20 more minutes to departure, but there is still no sign/sight of our plane. I thought they need to clean, refuel and refresh the plane before new passengers loads in. =/ So, by right, the plane should be in front of our nose now already, right?

Anyway, I'm logging off now and I will see you all in Kuching!

XOXO

Anna

One Hour

...till the departure time.

I'm now at LCCT departure hall, gate P12, waiting for my flight.

Ayam Kambing Beg!!

In less than 3 weeks time, I'll be flying back home to Kuching!! YIPEEDEE!!

But before that, I have to sit for my CIMA exams and then, I'll be flying home.

Anyway, anything you guys want from KL? I can tumpang baggage space :3 Let me know in advance, so that I can:

• get them if I happen to be in the area; and
• pre-book Supersize Baggage online and enjoy a discount of up to 50%.

So far, I know that I need to tapao some Latt Jiu Pan Mee, Mei Xiang bak kua, Bread Talk buns (if can find), and some IKEA stuffs.

Anything?

The Return of Tag Post

I was browsing through my old blog and noticed that back then in year 2006, tag posts were very popular but it sorta die already these days; OR maybe it's still tagged around just that I don't get tag anymore? T______T

Anyway, just to bring back the tagging tradition and also because Fengy commented on my facebook post saying no one tags him. So, I thought, well why not. Just for fun maa... Reposting and retagging the post taken from here.

Originally, the name of the tag is "Fantastic Four". Back then, Yours Truly is a very English-Editor person, who loves to edit words used or more like personalising words/phrases. So, I renamed the "Fantastic Four" to "Fun-Tags-Tick Four" even though it doesn't make much sense.*LOL* and I even edited the Fantastic Four poster to something like this:

Anyway, here's the "Fun-Tags-Tick Four":

Facebook Friend Requests

For the past hour I've been filtering friend requests from 538, now down to 463 requests. I'm kinda tired of filtering already. Had to audit the fella, if I know him/her through mutual friends, pichas, profile and etc..  If they are people I know, I'm more than happy to accept. HOWEVER, THESE ARE JUST RANDOM PEOPLE ADDING YOU ON FACEBOOK. Walau! Are we having the "who has the most friends on Facebook?" contest?

Please lah people.. Just add people who you really know and not friend-shopping from your friends/cousins/sisters/brothers/girlfriend/boyfriend/etc's friend list.

Seriously, how often do you get such random friend requests? And how do you deal with them? Do you just accept or ignore them?

A Gift From A Stranger

Last Saturday, after the Roxy Pink Tour at Pavilion KL. Y and I went to Fahrenheit 88. Just to check out the new mall. It's still very new as there were still lotsa vacant shops coming in soon. For some reason, it felt like The Hills Shopping Mall in Kuching.

We planned to tour the new mall level by level. At the first floor, we went into this crystal and rock shop. There was a man, a foreigner who claims that he's from Africa or somewhere there, called Ecuador something like that. Anyway, I'm pretty sure he's Spanish. He was shopping for stones in hoping for love luck. *raises eyebrow*

Long story cut short, when we were there, he kept wanting to talk to us, well mostly to Y. Asked Y a lot of questions and offered to buy her a stone ring. My guess (my instinct never go wrong one) is he likes Y. Hahaha.. Want to act charming by asking Y to pick a stone ring she likes from the tray. Y resisted at first because since young we were taught not to talk to strangers, what more to say receive a gift from a stranger! I think the man wanted to make her not feel paiseh and also since I'm there, he probably just don't want me feeling left out, he also asked me to pick one of the ring also. Told him it's ok, I don't wear ring. But he kept insisting. Aiya.. Since the ring is only RM3, I am not paiseh one, I just picked a stone ring and find the right size. He happy, we happy, then can leave the shop fast fast, right?

But then, we stayed back for about 10 minutes or so, to entertain the fella talk about his training in Malaysia. =______________=|||| I just want to get out of the shop and proceed our lil tour in the shopping mall leh.

Anyway, thanks to Mr. Ecuadorian/African/I Think You're Spanish for the hematite stone ring.

20.10.2010

...happens once in a lifetime.

It is just like any day, but with beautiful figures.

It is just like any day, but with additional combo of  stupidity and carelessness and not to mention, ultimate noobness.

It is a day that I knew would happen, never hope for it to happen, but it did happen.

It is a day that awaken my robotness back to human form, to be more conscious and alert, and not take things so lightly..

Well, Malaysians are just so complacent. =/ Even starting the car, driving, parking, get out of the car and locking the car is so remote that one didn't even realised the car key is still in the car when it was locked.

Yea, that complacent-stupid-careless-noob Malaysian was me.

And best of all, the first thing I did was tweet about it. Many replied to it. Most of them were worried about me, gave suggestions, offered help and there was one who asked if I have a steel ruler with me at the moment. LOL 

Now, to think about it, social media do play an important and influential part of my life. I freaking tweet about being locked out of the car, instead of calling for help!

Anyway, 20.10.2010 is a day that I almost break into my own car by attempting to open the window by using palms to pull the window down. Noob kan?

I bet it happened to almost every one of us (since it happened to me). Locked out once is enough to remember for the whole life!

I was given two choices: Go home (had to wait till my aunt reach home then can go inside the house since house keys were in the car) and

1. get my car the next morning; OR
2. take a cab to get my car immediately when I get the spare key.

I had really bad feeling about leaving my car staying overnight there.......who knows what might happened to it! Plus, if I were to go get my car via cab (because I don't want to trouble others), God knows what might happened.

No offence, but taking cab at night is just not cool! It is like a nightmare. I just don't feel safe to even  walk around in my own country at night! How crazy is that? All thanks to the emerging rising crime rates in the country. =x I'm just saying only lah.........After the 20.10.2010 incident, we shouldn't take anything too lightly now, should we?

Thank God for friends. 

Thanks to JJ for sending me back, thanks to ahlost for her concern (even though she's all the way in Kuching, she still worries and broadcasted about my "almost take taxi to get car") *LOL*, thanks to Forrest for the ride to get my car, thanks to ZZT for kolo mee all the way from Kuching, and thanks to them all for accompanying me till I reached home. Appreciate everything they did and very Sorry for all the troubles... huhuhuhu..

A friend in need is a friend in deed. Friends are easy to make, but true friends are hard to find.

If it weren't for them, I would have taken the cab home to get the spare key and back to the place to get my car and God knows if I'm ever be home again. Couldn't thank them enough :))))))

So, how was your 20.10.2010?

hooHA 10!10!10! Fun Run

Yesterday, I was having a KL City Tour on foot! It was a nice jog and walk around 4.1km (as calculated by Shirley on wikimapia). =/

Anyway, the day before yesterday, I went to collect the race kit right after my class. Took a ride from Pasar Seni station to Hang Tuah station. From the station, I had to walk for approximately 600 meters to Wisma OCM for the collection. It was a 5 minutes walk and along the walk, I cuss the sun for being so HAPPY (sunny and bright).

Finally arrived.

Got in the collection hall and got my shirt and goodie bag "ticket". The process was less than 20 seconds, as there was no queue, as many participants collected their race kit early in the morning.

So, my rant is.....it took a lot of effort to the collection point BUT the collection took less than 20 seconds! It's like waiting for more than half an hour to an hour or longer just for your appointment with the doctor, BUT the consultation was less than 5 minutes! Geddit? If not, never mind lah.. I'm just saying only...

After I got my Orange Tee, I went to Berjaya Times Square to meet up with Frankie who is KL for work training. He was there with Calvin and Rames. They planned to watch Eat. Pray. Love and I had a dinner to attend to, but in the end cancelled dinner because I wanted to watch the movie badly (been wanting to watch it since it was on screen).

Eat. Pray. Love. movie tix

The movie was great. Humorous and inspirational. Very enlightening as well. I love the Eat part of the movie. hahaha.. After watching the movie, I want to go to Italy! For the food, wine, architecture, history and scenery. Plus, I love their language, well, French is still the first language I want to learn.

On 101010 (10 October, 2010), JJ called me as early as 5.26am! The night before, I set the alarm to ring at 4.30am. When it rang, I switched it off and went back to sleep. Thanks to JJ for the morning call, otherwise.......GG. Also thanks for the carpool :D

Parked opposite Sakura Restaurant & walked to Lot10

We arrived very early at the venue, Lot 10. Currently, the Nike run just started and the hooHA! fun run starts after their run.

*sulking*

Initially, both Yien and I planned to join the NikeMY 10!10!10! run, unfortunately something came up and when I wanted to register for the run, the registration was full already. T__________T

Watching Nike runners pass by

So striking their shirt

the hooHA! runners cheering and at the same time envy their shirt. LOL

Notti clown was around to keep us entertained :)

Despite the fact that the registration for Nike run was full already, I registered for the hooHA 10!10!10! instead since Forrest, JJ, Kelson, Rachel and Shirley were joining the fun run on the very same day as the Nike run.

From left to right: Shirley, JJ, Kelson, Rachel, *missing Forrest* and me

Orange shirt

Most of us wore the orange tee while JJ was the only one among us 6 who wore the blue shirt. lol.. Very minority.

JJ's blue shirt with Rachel & Shirley covering his tits with their hands lol

Before the run began, the emcee made us do Mexican wave from the front to the back for a few times. It was fun. Then, the emcee counted from 1 to 10 for the run to begin. With God's grace and blessing, even the traffic lights turn green to commemorate the begin of the run!

Green lights = GO!

Too crowded to run o.O!!

Signage to keep the runners from being lost

The sweet couple with Forrest's nephew

Drink station packed with humans!

This hooHA 10!10!10! fun run is like a KL City Tour on foot for me...

The finishing line

Reached the finishing line in less than 40 minutes. o.O!! Such a short run!

Cereals for breakfast after the run

Milo Station

This Milo station has the longest queue! Everyone wants to have a drip of it! Including us :P

Smart way! Who would have thought the chair is only for our butt!

Finishing Medal

After the finishing line, I went to claim for my goodie bag and there's the finisher's medal inside. So nice! Didn't expect to get the finisher medal, plus it's GOLD! I'm a champion. lalalalallaa...

There are more pichas taken with Rachel's camera. Teeheehee.. Prolly will add in more pichas when she and Forrest uploads them on Facebook. :D

Sunbathing while waiting for food & drinks

We went to Restoran Win Heng Seng for breakfast after our run. It's just across the road from where we parked. Kelson said the place is famous for its "Chu Yok Fun" (Pork Noodles). The place was crowded with runners from both Nike and hooHA run. lol.. Anyway, we secured a table which was outside the shop and the sun was starting to reveal itself from the cottons of clouds! BBQ!!

Of course there's a food review of the Chu Yok Fun. Stay tuned for it @ Dine with Annna.

The Story of The Ant and Grasshopper

Received this from a forwarded email. It's so dem farny I must share.

Classic Version

An ant worked hard in the sweltering heat all summer, building its nest and laying up supplies for the winter.

A grasshopper thought the ant was stupid not knowing how to enjoy life. It spent its days laughing, singing & dancing thoroughly enjoying the summer.

Came winter, the ant was warm, comfortable and had no shortage of food.

The grasshopper had no proper shelter, no stored food, and couldn't find anything to eat from the snow-covered ground. So it died and the story ended.

MORAL OF TH E STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

Modern Version

An ant worked hard in the sweltering heat all summer, building its nest and laying up supplies for the winter.

A grasshopper thought the ant was stupid not knowing how to enjoy life. It spent its days laughing, singing & dancing thoroughly enjoying the summer.

Came winter, the shivering grasshopper called a press conference and demanded to know why the ant should be warm and well fed while he was cold and starving.

TV1, TV2 & TV3 showed up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper alongside to a video clip of the ant in his comfortable home with a table full of food.

The majority of the Malaysian Parliamentarians were stunned by the sharp contrast. How could this poor grasshopper be allowed to suffer?

Khairy staged a demonstration in front of the ant's nest.

Nazri went on a hunger strike along with other grasshoppers demanding that they be relocated to warmer climate area during winter.

The Malaysia Government immediately passed a law forbidding all ants from working hard in the summer so as to bring about equality of poverty between ants and grasshoppers.

Hishammudin increased 'More Special Reservations' for grasshoppers in E ducational Institutions & in Government Services..

The ant was fined for failing to share 30% of his food with the grasshopper. The Prime Minister announced that this was part of the N E P. No ant should question it. (Don't forget, Tax Audits were introduced and targeted at certain individuals who were eventually penalised heavily for not contributing enough to the well-being of the grasshoppers).

Many years later...

Some ant migrated to the US and set up multi-billion dollar companies there.

Hundreds of grasshoppers still died of starvation despite the 'More Special Reservations'.

Losing significant number of hard working ants and free loading the grasshoppers, Malaysia remained a developing country, despite its abundant natural resources.
All because the remaining ANTS were still doing their work .............................

Latest finding showed that almost all the grasshoppers in the political arena and civil service were hoarding corrupt wealth which they refused to share with fellow grasshoppers.

MORAL OF TH E STORY: Be careful vote in 2011.

It feels like..

...I'm on a rehab.

I haven't had liquor (my fav: tequila) for more than 4 months already. *gasps*

Few weeks back I had a few glasses of wine, but it's exceptional as wine is not liquor, to me that is.

##UPDATE##

Just realised that it's not 4 months since I last had this cactus juice as I met the girls (Rose, Gladys & Yien) last month and I had a serving of Margarita during our ARGH dinner. Hahahaha.. Anyway, it feels like forever since I last had a shot of cactus juice.

sunday outing with Mocha

Happy Sunday!!

How did you spend your day today?

I spent the day today with Mocha :3

We went to church in the morning, and laze around in the afternoon.

After church, we head to Tesco in Ampang for some grocessories. Spent few hours there o.O!! Sometimes, I don't understand why and how I could spent hours in a supermarket...alone with Mocha. Best of all, I came out with RM22 worth of grocessories ONLY. So, what did I buy for RM22 and spent hours in the supermarket?

Just a packet of strawberry flava jelly, a packet of konnyaku jelly, 2 packets of minced beef, 2 bottles of yoghurt drink, a packet of rice balls with sesame fillings, and what else? Btw, I wanted to buy lemons, but the queue at the weighing counter was longer than the cashier!

Lol.. Ok demmit! I admit that I enjoy grocerry shopping even though I don't need to shop much.

Suddenly, so housewife =x sien....

September Sigh

It's September already. Time flies...

My finals are less than 2 months away and I still have so much to feed my brain!

Since my classes are only on evenings for weekdays and 3-6 hours on weekends, I have plenty of free time during weekdays. So, I thought of getting a part-time job like Barista at Starbucks or something as similar. But the thought about, utilising those free time to revise, the job thing was placed aside. When the "free" times come in hand, I hardly revise =/ what the heck man....

Practice practice practice. That's what they always say in order to pass this course. I need full self-discipline. LOL

I can't wait till the end of finals so that I can go home or find a temporary job before the new sem starts. Need extra $$$ to live leisurely again. By that, I mean to have a holiday - Travel and Dining the enjoyable way. :D

One Laundry Day

The other day, while I was doing the laundry, I didn't put all the washed clothes and bedsheets in the laundry basket because I was lazy to empty the basket (with second batch of dirty clothes to wash) to put them in. So, I just get all the washed bedsheets and towels in a pile and brought them to the balcony and placed them by the balcony "rail".

I didn't realise that the white tank top (sleeveless shirt which looks like a singlet) was with the white towel as it was in the "chameleon" mode. When I placed the sheets and towel over the rail, the shirt.....

Flew all the way down from my sky-high house. OMG!!! Luckily, no one saw the flying shirt and heard me!

I had to rush down to get my shirt back. Good thing there's no loitering doggy in this area otherwise I will have to buy a new white tank and every time I see the dog chewing my shirt, I have to pretend that it is not mine. LOL

Anyway, I am thankful that it is the shirt that fell. Can you imagine if my bra or panties was that falling shirt?!  Not that I want my inner wear to fall lah, I'm just saying only lah..

Are you kidding me??

What the freaking eff man!!! I can't login to my on blog!

#iamsorry

This morning when I was on Twitter, I noticed a lot of tweets with the hashtag #iamsorry. So, I went to google it up and found out that today is "saying I am sorry" day. WTEFF! got such day one..

Anyway, since it is the I am sorry day, I shall do a tribute to this sorry day.

To friends and family and fellow peers, I am sorry if my words or actions hurt you. I sincerely apologize and I hope that it won't happened again.

I am sorry.

Here's my comical me giving everyone a big big hug!

*huggles*

I can't blog in my main domain

First of all, my home internet connection got cut off due to unforeseen issues. So, I couldn't online nor update my blog. Then, I subscribed to the DiGi Broadband.

Then, there were problems with the broadband.


The broadband speed was outrageously SLOW! Had to bear with the slowness and almost gone insane! Complaint over complaints on Twitter to Digi, but no solutions. Heck, Digi ignored my tweets even. PIFF

When the broadband is working well, I still can't blog because my main blog's server is having problems. According to the webhoster the problem is caused by the system failure which he is trying to solve and when it will be solved is unknown still.


This is not the first time for server failure. I have been facing the same problems several times within these few months. It is time to change....again.

Wteffff... So, here I am to rant about it. Anyway, I have registered to another webhosting company and waiting for this webhoster to get the server back so I can transfer everything to the new server. Moving "house" again. Mehhh...
